In the follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut, "Tell No Lies," Florida author Julie Compton returns with another novel of psychological suspense. The former attorney will discuss her newest release, "Rescuing Olivia," at this month's Book Talk Cafe at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 22 at the Ponte Vedra Branch Library.

In "Rescuing Olivia," a Florida biker sets out on a search to find and save the woman he loves when she mysteriously disappears after a suspicious motorcycle accident. His desperate search against time takes him all the way from his Florida home to the quaint New England town of Olivia's youth to the wild African savannah of her birth.

Julie Compton is the internationally published author of the legal thriller "Tell No Lies" (St. Martin's Minotaur), set in her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. Born and raised in St. Louis, where she attended Washington University for both undergraduate and law school, Compton also spent a number of years in Boston and Philadelphia before settling in Central Florida. She began her legal career in St. Louis but most recently worked as a trial attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice in Wilmington, Del. She gave up law to pursue writing full-time when her family moved to Florida in 2003. She now splits her time between her primary home near Orlando and a second home in Daytona Beach Shores. "Rescuing Olivia" is her second novel.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Ponte Vedra Library, Book Talk Cafe is free and open to the public and offers refreshments as well as the opportunity to purchase the author's books. Learn more at www.friendspvlibrary.org.
